I expect simple behaviours here. Friendship, and love. Any advice should be from the perspective of the person asking, not the person giving! We have had to make new membership moderated to combat the huge number of spammers who register

There is an agreement here that realworld names will not be used on forum posts, unless a poster is happy to be so identified.
As a matter of courtesy, Mr Moderator or Timmy, please remove my name from Brody's post as soon as possible.
This crosses the bounds of personal disagreement into dangerous territory: it's simply not acceptable.

YOU, outed yourself in the "Re: Are you just here because you are lonely and bored?" thread with your full name you bloody hypocrite! You listed your private blog site. Your temper tantrum not withstanding I shortened my post to use just your initials N and W. Happy Now? Why don't you cease your stupid campaigning and attacks against me and focus on something more productive eh?

The netiquette for this page - which I take it you have read - lists as point 4 under "General Prohibitions" the item "identification of people here by name when they use a nickname"
This is a cardinal point - although I'm fully out, many of my good friends here have excellent reasons for not being so. Respect for whatever degree of anonymity a poster presents is essential to any prospect of it becoming a Place of Safety again - and your breach of it (which I'm thankful you have retrospectively amended)is not merely a breach of netiquette but a major disregard of the principles that have hitherto obtained here.
As usual, I expect that this will be overlooked.
